Security is usually one of the characteristic weak spots of IE.Apart from a pop-up blocker, version 7 also dishes out an anti-phishing filter. Unlike Firefox however, there’s no drop down view of each item in a feed.The Favorites Center, opened up by clicking on the big star icon, is divided into favourites, feeds and history. Just click on the “subscribe to this feed” link to add it to your favourites.You can also subscribe by clicking on the small star icon on the left.

Whenever you come across a site that supports RSS, the icon in the toolbar will turn its characteristic orange.Click on it and you will be lead to a page that reveals all the feeds for that website. IE 7 has improved the way it integrates RSS. We also appreciated the print preview tool, which adjusts the page according to your paper size. It includes a ‘New tab’ button for instant opening, plus an ingenious ‘Quick Tabs’ button, which opens up thumbnail previews of all your opened tabs in one screen and, unlike Firefox, IE 7 actually has a close button on each tab.You can even save groups of tabs as your homepage so they all launch upon start-up.

IE has also finally decided to support tabbed browsing. Just when you thought you wouldn’t see another version of Internet Explorer this side of the next ice age, Microsoft hits the world with a totally new release of its almighty browsing app.It’s been so long in the making that many web users have got fed up with waiting for Microsoft to update its technology and have looked elsewhere – mainly in the direction of Firefox.Now the big, bad king of the browser world is in no mood to see its crown wrestled away, but can it do enough to win back its deserters? For starters, the new streamlined interface is definitely an improvement.Microsoft has basically stripped back the menu bar and hidden all of the tools and functions within a set of compact icons, placed subtly at the top-right of the interface.It allows you to see pages in a very large viewing space.
